Ralph M. Easley has correctly stated Theodore Roosevelt’s end goal, but Roosevelt emphasizes that such a goal can best be reached by a series of smaller steps. He agrees with Easley that both the nation and individual states should act on the matter. Roosevelt doesn’t think that prices should be absolutely fixed by the government, but there should be a check on them.
